Disturbing visuals of Hamas parading a naked and battered body of a woman on the streets of Israel have emerged. Another woman confirmed that it was her sister, a German citizen, seen in the video.

As the Israel-Gaza conflict rages, disturbing visuals of fighters of the Palestinian armed group Hamas parading a naked and battered body of a woman through the streets of Israel in the back of a pickup truck have emerged.

According to videos that surfaced on social media, a screaming crowd surrounds the Hamas’ vehicle, echoing their cries and spitting on the woman’s body.

Hamas initially claimed that the body belonged to a female Israeli soldier, according to news.com.au. However, Adi Louk confirmed on X that the woman seen in the video was her sister, Shani Louk, a German citizen and a tattoo artist, reported the New York Post.

Shani Louk’s mother, in a video message posted by Visegrad 24 on X, confirmed her daughter’s identity and appealed to people for more information regarding her whereabouts.

    And so is Israel. Two terrorist groups throwing bombs to each other, without giving a heck about their own citizens. 🤷🏻‍♂️

      Israel is an apartheid state leveraging state violence. They hold the cards and they shuffled the deck.

      Well, Israel is literally surrounded by countries who want to destroy them and wipe them off the face of the earth for religious reasons. I understand their anxiety.

      That being said, Israel is not innocent.

      Are you seriously comparing a group that openly targets civilians, hiding in civilian infrastructure, with a group that retaliates? Good luck coming up with a response that matches your standards when your country is under a rocket barrage. The double standards people develop when sitting in the safety of their home and regurgitating biased news… It’s thanks to people like you that this conflict thrives, because extremists from both sides use the lies you spread to their advantage.

        That’s exactly what they are doing.

        They hold Israel to an invented standard that they apply to no other nation.

        There was a brief, shining moment after 9/11 when the entire world was united against terrorism. But the critics of Israel were so determined to frame Israel as the bad guys that they invented a meaningless phrase “state terrorism” which just meant “anything that Israel does”. And they pretended that that was the moral equal to the actual terrorism of the Palestinians, deliberately targeting children and other innocents.

        Israel builds a fence to keep out suicide bombers. They scream “apartheid!”

        Israel bulldozes a vacated house that was used as a terrorist bomb-making factory. They scream “genocide!”

        The problem with Israel’s critics is that since they damn Israel for any and every action, they have made their voices utterly useless.

        Israel oppresses Palestinians, Hamas retaliates and Israel retaliates against their retaliation, rinse and repeat. The only ones with the power to change this dynamic are Israel and they’re not doing that.

          They’ve offered these people peaceful coexistance and self-governance for more than half a century.

          Palestinians have walked away from every peace talk and turned to terrorism.

          The only ones with power to change the dynamic are the Palestinians.

            Palestinians have walked away from every peace talk and turned to terrorism.

            Because every peace talk has been “We’re gonna offer you a fraction of your stuff and you should be happy about it”. The Israeli position is that Palestine should be happy with breadcrumbs, and Palestinians are understandably not happy about that. Israel hasn’t changed its position, and has actually gotten worse, hence terrorism.

              Not at all. Israel’s offers of peace have been objectively the most generous terms in history.

                None of them involved pulling out of Gaza and the West Bank, that’s for sure. When your peace offers practically don’t even include independence, it’s hard to take them seriously. And don’t get me started about East Jerusalem.
